ADA Accessible Roundtable
Independent Living, Inc. invites you to join our Disability Community Roundtable, a virtual discussion focused on accessible and disability-competent transportation systems.
Topics will include barriers to reliable transit, physical accessibility of vehicles and stations, paratransit services, communication access, and other challenges individuals with disabilities encounter when navigating public and private transportation options.
This is an opportunity to share experiences, elevate concerns, and contribute to solutions that strengthen access and independence across our community.

17th Annual Friends of Independence Breakfast
At ILI, “yes” is more than a word. It is access. It is an opportunity. It is a job secured, a barrier removed, a door opened that once seemed closed. Every day, individuals with disabilities hear “no” in ways both visible and invisible. Together, we are changing that narrative.
This year’s breakfast will highlight the real impact of saying yes to inclusion, yes to independence, and yes to community-driven solutions. You will hear powerful stories, see measurable results, and learn how your partnership fuels meaningful change across our region.
Join business leaders, advocates, community members, and changemakers as we redefine what is possible.
Location: The Country Club at Otterkill
Time: 8:00 am (Registration begins at 7:30 am)
